7000 journals and the DOAJ site in Turkish!
Directory of Open Access Journals is continuously growing - now there are 7000 journals listed in the directory! 45% of the journals are searchable on article level = more than 600 000 article searchable.
DOAJ is also aiming to make the site available in other languages than English. Recently the French version of the DOAJ site was launched and now we are happy to inform that the site is also available in Turkish, thanks to the cooperation between Lund University Libraries, Head Office and the consortium ANKOS, who carried out the translation.
